Uttig Labyrinth

You may well be sick of all the hype, nonsense and overkill surrounding the FIFA World Cup, but take a look at this vegetable art. Back in April two German farmers, Uli and Corinne Ernst, and their team sowed the beginnings of this artwork using hemp, corn, rapeseed, sunflowers and common mallow. Recent additions are the flags of the three top teams: Germany, Argentina and The Netherlands. The Labyrinth opens to the public tomorrow in Uttig, southern Germany. I assume there is an entry fee. Full marks to the farmers for enterprise and optimism.
